2021-01-22scripts/install-nix-from-closure: only show progress if a terminal is usedMaximilian Bosch
While the progress dots during the copying of the store work fine on a normal terminal, those look pretty off if the script is run inside a provisioning script of e.g. `vagrant` or `packer` where `stderr` and `stdout` are captured: default: . default: .. default: . default: . default: . To work around this, the script checks with `-t 0` if it's running on an actual terminal and doesn't show the progress if that's not the case.
2020-11-21installer: simplify the per-build installationzimbatm
The goal is to allow the installation and testing of arbitrary Nix versions. Extend the base installer to accept a `--tarball-url-prefix <url>` to change where the Nix tarball is getting downloaded from. Once this is merged it should allow to: 1. Pick an evaluation at https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master that looks healthy 2. Select the installedScript build and find the store path. Now equipped with all of this, use an instance of nar-serve to fetch the install script and release tarballs: curl -sfL https://nar-serve.numtide.com/nix/store/rkv4yh7pym941bhj0849zqdkg2546bdv-installer-script/install \ | sh --tarball-url-prefix https://nar-serve.numtide.com/nix/store Or with cachix, strip the /nix/store and derivation name and then: curl -sfL https://mycache.cachix.org/serve/rkv4yh7pym941bhj0849zqdkg2546bdv/install \ | sh --tarball-url-prefix https://mycache.cachix.org/serve Fixes #4047

2020-10-19fix xpath and conditional bugs; xpath -> xmllintTravis A. Everett
- xpath -> xmllint: xpath's cli interface changed in Big Sur rather than add conditional logic for picking the correct syntax for xpath, I'm changing to xmllint --xpath, which appears to be consistent across versions I've tested... - /plist/dict/key[text()='Writable']/following-sibling::true[1] doesn't do quite what's expected. It was written to try to select a <true /> node paired with the Writable key, but it will also select the *next* <true /> node that appears even if it was paired with another key. - I think there's also a logic bug in the conditionals here. I'm not sure anyone ever actuall saw it, thanks to the xpath bug, though. With the xpath fix, this conditional passes if /nix does not exist, / IS writable, and the version is Catalina+. I think it meant to test for /nix does not exist, / is NOT writable, and the version is Catalina+. I reworked this lightly to make it a little clearer at the code level.

Keeping this commit narrow for reviewability, but some of these conditionals will change in subsequent commits in this PR. Fixes #3852.

2020-05-21focus on golden-path covering most scenariosTravis A. Everett
This should handle installation scenarios we can handle with anything resembling confidence. Goal is approximating the existing setup--not enforcing a best-practice... Approaches (+ installer-handled, - manual) and configs each covers: + no change needed; /nix OK on boot volume: All pre-Catalina (regardless of T2 or FileVault use) + create new unencrypted volume: Catalina, pre-T2, no FileVault + create new encrypted-at-rest volume: Catalina, pre-T2, FileVault Catalina, T2, no FileVault - require user to pre-create encrypted volume Catalina, T2, FileVault

The default login shell for users on macOS 10.15 changed from bash to zsh. So while generally nonstandard we need to configure it to make nix function out of the box on macOS.

Starting macOS 10.15 /nix can't be creasted directly anymore due to the readonly filesystem, but synthetic.conf was introduced to enable creating mountpoints or symlinks for special usecases like package managers.

2019-02-20install script: don't abort when "nix-channel --update" failsBjørn Forsman
Instead, print a message about what happened and tell the user what can be done (run "[sudo -i] nix-channel --update nixpkgs" again at a later time). This change allows installing Nix when you're offline. Since the multi-user installer is so verbose, the message isn't printed until the end. Fixes issue #2650 ("installation without internet connection").
2018-12-20installer: update macOS version check to 10.12.2Daiderd Jordan
Nixpkgs will drop support for <10.12 soon and thus a nix release built using the 19.03 channel will also require a newer version of macOS.

2018-04-19installer: allow opting in / out to the daemon installerGraham Christensen
By passing --daemon or --no-daemon, the installer can be forced to select one or the other installation options, despite what the automatic detection can provide. This commit can be backported to 2.0-maintenance because it explicitly turns off the daemon installation for Linux under systemd.

- darwin installer: delete hardware report, not necessary - moves os-specific code from the darwin installer to to `poly_*` functions - adds profile.d support to the profile targets, which automatically handles many distros which don't have a /etc/bashrc but do have an /etc/profile.d - /bin/bash -> /usr/bin/env bash - document why each excluded shellcheck check is excluded - rename the multi-user to Daemon-based

2016-11-03installation: allow profile modification to be skipped (#1072)Manav Rathi
The current behaviour modifies the first writeable file from amongst .bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile. So .bash_profile (if it is writable) would be modified even if a user has already sourced nix.sh in, say, .profile. This commit introduces a new environment variable, NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE. If this is set during installation, then the modifications are unconditionally skipped. This is useful for users who have a manually curated set of dotfiles that they are porting to a new machine. In such scenarios, nix.sh is already sourced at a place where the user prefers. Without this change, the nix installer would insist on modifying .bash_profile if it exists. This commit also add documentations for both the current behaviour and the new override.

2016-05-18Fix `??` in Nix warning messageGabriel Gonzalez
Nix sometimes outputs a warning message like this: ``` directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running ‘?? using sudo ``` ... when it really meant to output something that looked like this: ``` directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running 'mkdir -m 0755 /nix && chown gabriel /nix' using sudo ``` The reason why is due to some bizarre behavior in Bash where it will translate anything of the form `$x’` to `??`, leading to the incorrect warning message. I don't know what is the origin of this Bash behavior, but the easiest fix is to just use ASCII quotes instead of unicode quotes.

Verification is slow. Also, we really shouldn't advise users to nuke their store.
